Moritz Schroeder, founder of tickerTXT, graduated in 1994 from ESCP-EAP European School of Management as Diplom Kaufmann, European Masters in Management, Diplôme Grande Ecole.

He grew up in Germany and France. He started as an IT and business consultant specializing groupware projects for large customers and medium-sized businesses. The focus of his work has shifted towards finding and implementing solutions for important, often technology-related projects which had "hit a wall". He lived in Oxford and London from 1997 to 2003, where he frequently teamed up with Andy Swarbrick to work on intense and demanding assignments including co-founding two startups. Consequently, he contacted Andy for his groupDNA project which lead to the creation of tickerTXT.
